Nuclear configurational complexity in high-energy hadron-hadron scatterings

Abstract

This paper investigates high-energy hadron-hadron scattering utilizing AdS/QCD correspondence, gravitational form factors, and the Brower-Polchinski-Strassler-Tan pomeron exchange kernel. We use the configurational complexity to estimate the slope of the total cross section for hadron-hadron interactions at the high-energy regime. Our approach agrees well with the phenomenological cross sections regulated by Pomeron exchange involving the pion-nucleon, nucleon-nucleon, and pion-pion, in data from the TOTEM collaboration (LHC). In the case of pion-nucleon and pion-pion scattering, the agreement for the global critical point of the configurational complexity has good accuracy within 2.3\%.
